Hotel lobby.

As usual, Yu Ningning treated everyone to dinner tonight to celebrate Jin Ke successfully landing the male model job. After asking about Jin Ke's preferences, she ordered the hotel's most luxurious Henan cuisine feast.

Yu Ningning sat in the main seat, while Qin Shi Huang, Jing Ke, Su Daji, and Xiao Yu each took their seats, filling a large table.

It was supposed to be a celebratory banquet, and everyone was in high spirits, except for Yu Ningning, who was standing to the side.

Frustrated, she glanced at her phone and found another message from Shen Longcheng, asking if she had any work scheduled for tomorrow and if she needed him to prepare anything in advance.

Yu Ningning pressed the power button on her phone in frustration, letting the screen go black out of sight, before shifting her posture and furrowing her brows even deeper.

Shen Longcheng took the initiative to ask Yu Ningning for her contact information.

As he got out of the car, he grabbed Yu Ningning, who was holding her breath and about to rush into the house, handed her his phone, and said earnestly, "Sister Ning, it's been so long since we last met, it's really not easy. Let's exchange contact information."

Gazing intently at Chen Longcheng's expression, Yu Ningning understood his unspoken meaning.

With the immense power and influence of the Shen family, he could easily find out Yu Ningning's identity and address, as well as the news that Yu Ningning was recruiting a junior assistant. He even took the initiative to call Yu Ningning and became her junior assistant before everyone else. How could he not know Yu Ningning's contact information?

What he's asking Ningning now is actually just asking one question—after so much time has passed, can we officially start contacting each other now?

Still angry about Shen Longcheng's self-destructive 137 time travels, Yu Ningning subconsciously avoided the question and wanted to shake off Shen Longcheng's hand.

But Shenlongcheng knew Yu Ningning too well.

The instant she made her move, Shen Longcheng grabbed her hand and said earnestly, "Sister Ning, I've waited 137 small worlds to say these words. Whatever happened back then, can you give me another chance?"

In the end, it was this sentence that moved Yu Ningning. She asked Shen Longcheng to add her contact information before taking Jin Ke into the hotel.

But as soon as she got back to the hotel, she regretted it.

Especially when Shen Longcheng sent her three messages in quick succession, asking if she wanted to have dinner together, whether the company's Su Daji and the others needed more film and television resources, and now asking if she had work tomorrow and whether she needed to meet up, and she still didn't know how to reply...

To be fair, they shared too many memories, and she didn't dislike Chen Longcheng.

Even when asked about her ideal type, the first image that pops into her mind is always the blurry figure of Shen Longcheng.

But she was just at a loss, not knowing how to deal with... how to deal with Long Qiyue of the past, how to deal with Shenlong City of today, and how to deal with the things between the two of them back then.

This made her unusually irritable.

Yu Ningning has always presented herself as a bright, capable, and effortless natural leader who is never stumped by anything.

Even when facing the First Emperor of Qin, the infamous concubine Su Daji, who brought ruin to the country, and the unruly Jing Ke, she could casually hire them and make them serve her.

Therefore, her unusual behavior at this moment has attracted everyone's attention.

Not intending to disturb Ningning, Su Daji nudged Xiaoyu with her elbow while picking up some food and asked in a low voice, "Look, what happened to this person who is usually stronger than an ox?"
